Distribution

Occurs in two discrete areas in north-eastern Queensland, predominantly at higher altitudes on the Atherton and Evelyn Tablelands, but also at lower altitudes along the coast, from the Russell River to the Johnstone River near Innisfail.

Ecology

Grows in higher altitudes on trees in exposed situations, usually on the lower branches and lower positions on the trunk. In lowland rainforests it occurs on the upper branches of tall trees. Young plants are erect but older plants tend to be straggly or pendulous in habit.
